Working parties have worked for over 100 hours this year clearing vegetation. Meopham Parish Council provide us with a grant for the maintenance of our equipment, which is much appreciated.

Active steps have been and are being taken to resolve these problems, in liaison with the Kent County Council Rights of Way Officer when necessary. Budget restrictions continue to have a substantial impact on KCC Rights Of Way activity.

Meopham Walkers also report/act on Rights of Way outside the Parish.
